It's been so long since I tried to log in that I had to re-register. I've owned my 59 Fleetside since 95. It had sit idle under a shed in Chipley, FL since 75. The owner was 85 then and his wife took his keys away after he had a fender-bender in her Maverick. I had to replace most of the rubber, clean and re-line the gas tank, rebuild the carb, brakes, replace the harmonic balancer, shocks, tires, etc. It's still a long way from finished, but it runs great and I drive it quite often. I always keep a tow strap, jumper cables and usually take one of my bikes along in the bed. I'm going to try to post some pics now.
A few more pics.... I would eventually like to get the truck painted to match the re-done seat - a metallic blue and cream two-tone.
Boy Howdy ! That's a nice looking truck there . When I were a laddie , I had one rich buddy who's daddy bought him a bicycle like that but in red.....
